Chief Sealth High School Ratings & Reviews

Unfortunately my experience has been really bad. Chief Sealth could be so good. They have amazing programs, a beautiful campus and a community rich in diversity. The principal does nothing to bring out the best of people. Most of her staff is just waiting for her to "retire or leave so she can take care of her family" I refuse to be part of a community that is only waiting for its leader to go away. No IB program, dual immersion pathway, mariachi band, academy of finance is enough for my family to stay. We are leaving but my heart breaks for families that do not have any other choice for their kids to prepare for college or any other opportunities in life.

My children attend Sealth and overall we are happy. The teachers and staff are great with my kids, unfortunately the Principal is the worst Principal in the district and needs to move on or retire. She does not respect the teachers, staff or students. 5 stars for teachers and staff, 1 star for Principal.

Since the new principal at Sealth started just this year, everything has been going downhill. Not only are students looked down upon but the teachers are as well. The administration now has no respect for their students and don't take the opinions of the students and staff into consideration whatsoever. Although the administration is sub par, the teachers are wonderful and extremely great at what they do. With that said, I still believe the authority of the administration outweigh the good of the teachers. I find it sad to see Chief Sealth's great teachers under the horrid rein of the new administration who seem to only care about what they think is right. I haven't once seen the principal interact with any of her students, other than telling girls their outfits are inappropriate or boys to pull their pants up. I look forward to if/when this principal begins to understand her duty as a principal is one who doesn't just scold kids for the bad, but to encourage them for the good. I'm so sorry if you ever have to go to this school in the future -- it will not be a pleasant experience.

This school has the worst principal in the district. She is new to the school this year. Has a top down only management style and has no respect for some great long term teachers and support staff. She talks to no one. Staff moral is at an all time low. Teachers and support staff are leaving and going elsewhere. I have observed this school over the past 20 years. This is it's worst time ever.

This probably one of the worst high schools in Seattle. There's has been many bullying cases. Students do not feel safe. It is a crime to be smart, to want to thrive. Students will get beaten for being a 'nerd'. The teachers, frankly, have given up on all students because the students don't care anymore. This school gives students a reason for depression and I won't even say what depression leads up to. Do not send your child to this school. It may have been good in the past but as of 2011 and beyond, stay clear.
